i fucked with mike until i listened to his nine club. four hours of him talking about how everyone gives him props for everything all the time while the host dude just goes "thats wild". what a goof.

They have one of those groups where I live that is like a street team or fan club for the board brand. They used to organize some meetups at parks around town, and you'd see like 15-20 dudes with full pads riding giant shaped boards carving up those 3ft bad boy bowl corners.

They were all pretty nice guys, but they are like...really into it.

Met Mike V one time at an event they did, he seemed OK. Didn't really say much.

That's the battalion and they call the few shops that carry street plant an "armory"

That's right, the battalion!

Those guys all went down to the armory to get those mean street axes alright.

Sharpen your pitchforks boys and girls we're off on a wild adventure again. This time it's based on someone's interview in a magazine whose whole shtick was trolling the industry and shocking people as much as possible. I'm sure it will be a fun, but slightly bumpy, ride!

I'm surprised Vallely agreed to do an interview with Big Brother after falling out w/Rocco. They were bound to bring up shit he probably wouldn't want to talk about and/or things that wouldn't make him look good. He had to know at least one skeleton was going to come crashing out of the closet during that interview since part of the magazine's purpose was to promote Rocco's companies.

Maybe he thought he could explain most of them away? Like, when he tries to explain away choking Jeremy Klien.

If he's not a racist but just says racist things for shock value he's still a fuckwit.

maybe he was a fuckwit in 93 ... who wasn't really? My money is on getting trolled by BB.
Like Duffel though, Mike V has shown that he can and did change over time. 10/10 cried on the nine club about how his run in with peanut brown taught him so many lessons and yet he just continued to make the same dumb mistakes over and over again for 20+ years until someone finally called him on his bullshit. One quote in BB is hardly anything to start a witch hunt over imho

True, looks like he had beef with transworld too though so maybe he thought BB would give him an unfiltered platform to speak his mind?

side note: I respect him more now that I know he choked JK

There's also the Confederate flag on his car. I do believe in forgiveness and people changing, I'm not about to light a torch and assemble a lynch mob, but unless I see any evidence that he's changed, There are a hundred other companies i can buy boards from. It's hardly a witch hunt.

[leftjab13]

has he ever explained this confederate flag shit?

[igrindtwinkies]

I couldn't make it 20 minutes into his nine club.  I couldn't stand his in depth storytelling about being questioned for his punkness in High School.

I don't know, does he still own that car? I could see him driving a hybrid these days LOL
Duffel was rocking a confederate flag in his garage when he was all biker-ed up with his harley buddys and no one made him repent on that. Grant Taylor was also in the same boat no with a flag in his room?
Anyway, I think we've already done this topic before when every man and their troll were trying to unmask the next 10/10 in the industry:

Yeah I thought everyone saw this in the Jason Jesse thread. I was just posting the article because I happened to be reading that big brother today and thought of this thread. Wasn't trying to make that part any kind of issue.

Years and years and years ago, very early 90's, Mike Vallely did a demo out here, it was bad. All I remember there was a quarter pipe, and a bunch of dudes were standing on top. It collapses back and someones falls on the edge of the quarter pipe where you ride up, like this.

the first time I saw Mike V, he was playing ice hockey in his 411 profile, I had just quit playing hockey because everyone I played hockey with listened to tragically hip and sucked, Mike V has been a kook in every single phase of his life.

This would make for a far more interesting graphic than anything Numbers has put out, ever.

[skate_or_dingus]

I wish I could find the exact quote, but years ago I remember reading in a Transworld buyer's guide a quote from Mike V. along the lines of "if you buy shop decks, you're a kook who doesn't support skating."

 I wonder how much Element paid him to say that...

It’s hard to remember because I was young and it was so shitty. The first of very few demos in my area. I was really young and because it was just Mike V doing weird handstands and shit it wasn’t very memorable. I got something in a product toss I think. God I wish I could remember what it was but I think it was pretty lame and a dumb brand on top. I think my friend got a no name slick board.

The most memorable thing was the quarter pipe falling. It was a few people on it and they all got smoked. It fell completely on its back. My re-creation is in the middle of that devastating event.
